This Week On The TechCrunch Bitcoin Podcast: The Winklevii Double Down On Bitcoin
May 08, 11:31PM
Hello dear friends, and welcome back to another episode of TCBTC, TechCrunch’s kinda-weekly bitcoin podcast. This time around the Skype booth, main host John Biggs and myself dug into the Winklevoss twins’ love of bitcoin, consumer interest in the cryptocurrency itself, and something technical that we probably got around half right. We apologize for the minor hiatus. It’s been… Read MoreCrunchWeek: Dollars, Beers, Oculus, And New York
May 08, 11:22PM
Hello from far-too-hot New York City, where Jonathan Shieber, Ingrid Lunden, and myself found a few chairs, a few beers, and a few topics to dig into as Disrupt came to a conclusion. This time around, we dealt with massive capital rounds, Oculus’ recent news, and this thing called New York City. There is more footage that followed this session, involving an increasingly large cadre… Read MoreSimCity Creator Will Wright's New App Wants To Create A Graphic Novel Of Your LIfe
May 08, 11:00PM
The creator of SimCity, Will Wright, has come out with a new app called THRED — and it isn’t a game. Instead, Wright describes it as a natively built way to browse “the World Wide Web” in a more pure sense. The THRED app is essentially a collection of pieces of content that range anywhere from games, photos, locations and such strung together in a thread in a cover… Read MoreTC AppleCast 14: Apple Watch, Bands And Streaming Music Service
May 08, 8:41PM
This week we’re happy to have survived TechCrunch Disrupt NY 2015 intact, so we talked a bit about how the Apple Watch seemed to make that process a lot easier to handle. The device lets you focus on what’s happening around you, without missing things that aren’t, which is pretty much ideal for conference-going. We also discuss the ‘Made for Apple Watch’… Read MoreMobile Sales Startup Immediately Raises $2M

Immediately, a startup building mobile tools for salespeople, is announcing that it has raised $2 million in funding.

May 08, 6:39PM
Storm Ventures has joined nearly every other startup capital entity in raising a new, larger fund. Storm’s fifth fund is a $180 million vehicle that the firm has stapled a new venture partner to. As a group, Storm is known for its work with SaaS-focused companies. Its own Jason Lemkin, the other guest in the above segment, is something of a Bay Area uncle for SaaS, in that he has a habit… Read MoreSamsung Gear VR For Galaxy S6 Now On Sale For $200

May 08, 4:28PM
In this week’s edition of ‘omg the machines are on the verge of sentience,’ we bring you news of a research project out of MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory: A system designed to recognize specific scenes, which is a key ingredient in making computers smarter, turned out to also be able to identify objects as an unintended side effect.… Read MoreWatch These Drones Dance Merrily 'Round The Maypole
May 08, 3:45PM
Under the guise of “high-g quadcopter training” the folks at ETH Zurich have tethered multiple drones to a central pole and are teaching them to do 50 km/h accelerations of up to 13 gs. In short, these guys are going really fast and not hitting each other, which is amazing. From the release: The testbed allows the characterization of the flight behavior of quadrocopters at… Read MoreDog Lovers Can Now Print These Amazing Open-Source Doggy Wheels
May 08, 3:44PM
Dog carts are common but clunky. These little carts, attached to disabled dogs via straps and webbing, are often expensive and rarely cool. Now, however, you can get your disabled dog some sweet open-source wheels for the price of a quick 3D print and some rubber. The Adaptable Wheelchair For Handicapped Dogs costs about $150 to build and can be resized for your pooch. The first recipient, a… Read MoreFlurry Analytics Rolls Out Support For Apple Watch
May 08, 3:28PM
Yahoo announced this week that it’s adding support for Apple Watch analytics to its free mobile analytics service Flurry, which the company acquired last year. For those developers who are building apps for the Apple Watch ecosystem, it’s important to understand how users are engaging with these new small-screen applications, as user behavior and the metrics that matter are likely… Read MoreHow Silicon Valley And Washington Can Come Together
May 08, 3:00PM
As technology permeates nearly every aspect of our lives, it has become an increasingly political topic. On one hand, Washington and Silicon Valley have seemingly never been closer with recent visits to the Valley by President Obama, new cybersecurity legislation, news at RSA that the Department of Homeland Security plans to open an office in the Valley, as well as the surge of Silicon… Read MoreAmazon's Delivery Drones Could Find You Wherever You Are
May 08, 2:57PM
Amazon’s delivery drone plans may have seemed more like a media stunt than a concrete vision back when it launched, but with active testing taking place in Canada and now, new details showing up in a patent application, things are getting real. The new proposed patent for an “Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Delivery System” (via BBC) contains some impressive revelations about… Read MoreKeurig CEO Blames Coffee Pod DRM For Falling Sales
May 08, 2:53PM
In what amounts to a win for the anti-DRM crowd, Keurig CEO Brian Kelley said the 23% drop in sales came from his move to prevent coffee lovers from using unofficial K-Cups in its 2.0 machines. After the company’s patent on the K-Cup expired, the company added a lock to its new machines to prevent the use of refillable cups and cups from outside manufacturers. Users also filed a… Read MoreRewind's New App Lets You Create Photo Timelines That Disappear After A Day
May 08, 2:44PM
Spotted this week at TechCrunch Disrupt NY’s Startup Alley, was the newly launched social photo-sharing app Rewind. As its name implies, the idea with this app is to give you and your friends a way to look back on your most recently shared photos and posts, which you can do quickly by sliding your finger to scroll through Rewind’s “timeline” feature. But the twist… Read MoreTesla Buys A Company In A State Where It's Barred From Selling Cars

May 08, 2:26PM
This past week’s Disrupt NY 2015 conference was my first opportunity to use the Apple Watch at a multi-day event, and considering Disrupt is always essentially a non-stop workfest for us here at TC, from morning well into night, it’d be hard to find a better real-world test case to see how the Apple Watch performs in this type of setting. In short, events throw into bas-relief… Read MoreIf at any time you'd like to stop receiving these messages, just send an email to feeds_feedburner_com_techcrunch+unsubscribe-hmdtechnology=gmail.com@mail.feed2email.net.
